2006 Tundra pickup, need oil recommendation

[Silver_civic]

Hello again and dont mean to post so much, but friend of mine inherited a 06' Toyota Tundra 4whl drive, with about 46k on it. Very clean vehicle, and the older man that had it used it to haul some coal, and whatever else. Not real beat up and in good shape also. My friend is near my fathers place or northeast of me about 2hrs or so. He asked me for a oil to use. I told him I thought either PYB 5w30 would be ok as my workplace we have a 06' that is our plow truck and we use Safety Kleen 5w30 with WIX filters. We change the oil out every fall and put fresh filter on it. I told my friend if he wanted he could even use some PP 5W30 or PU 5W30 that I have been using in the g.f. civic. My friend plans to use this truck daily to haul firewood and around his sawmill. Dont know how many miles he would put on it also.


thanks for help and info in advance

Any 5W-30 would be fine and a synthetic on sale even better.

Thanks for the info, and knowing my friend he probably will go with PYB 5w30 dont know for sure.

Is it the 4.7 V8? They seem to be very easy on oil, and from my experience they can take a lot of abuse.
